If you wanna be my friend
You want us to get along
Please do not expect me to
Wrap it up and keep it there
The observation I am doing could
Easily be understood
As cynical demeanour
But one of us misread...
And what do you know
It happened again

A friend is not a means
You utilize to get somewhere
Somehow I didn't notice
friendship is an end
What do you know
It happened again

How come no-one told me
All throughout history
The loneliest people
Were the ones who always spoke the truth
The ones who made a difference
By withstanding the indifference
I guess it's up to me now
Should I take that risk or just smile?

We're bound to wait all night
She's bound to run amok
Invested enough in it anyhow,
To each his own
The Garden is sorting out
She curls her lips on a bow
I don't know if you're dead or not
To anyone

Come on and get the minimum
Before you open up your eyes,
This army has so many heads
To analyze...
Come on and get your overdose
Collect it at the borderline
They want to get up in your head...

[Chorus]
Cause they know and so do I
The high road is hard to find
A detour in your new life
Tell all of your friends goodbye

The dawn to end all nights
That's all we hoped it was
A break from the warfare in your house
To each his own...
A soldier is bailing out
And curled his lips on the barrel
And I don't know if the dead can talk
To anyone...

Come on and get the minimum
Before you open up your eyes
This army has so many hands
Are you one of us?
Come on and get your overdose
Collect it at the borderline
And they want to get up in your head

[Chorus]
Cause they know and so do I
The high road is hard to find
A detour to your new life
Tell all of your friends goodbye

Gold teeth and a curse for this town were all in my mouth.
Only, I don't know how they got out, dear.
Turn me back into the pet that I was when we met.
I was happier then with no mind-set.

And if you'da took to me like
A gull takes to the wind.
Well, I'da jumped from my tree
And I'da danced like the king of the eyesores
And the rest of our lives woulda fared well.

New slang when you notice the stripes, the dirt in your fries.
Hope it's right when you die, old and bony.
Dawn breaks like a bull through the hall,
Never shoulda called
But my head's to the wall and i'm lonely.

And if you'da took to me like
A gull takes to the wind.
Well, I'da jumped from my tree
And I'da danced like the king of the eyesores
And the rest of our lives woulda fared well.

God speed all the bakers at dawn may they all cut their thumbs,
And bleed into their buns 'til they melt away.

I'm looking in on the good life I might be doomed never to find.
Without a trust or flaming fields am I too dumb to refine?
And if you'da took to me like
Well I'da danced like the queen of the eyesores
And the rest of our lives woulda fared well.

I saw her dancin with the devil
And he was wearing my shoe
Black and white Jordan leathers
And she was looking for abuse
Now she looked just like heaven
But her mind reeked of hell
Now I know I shouldn't be telling
But I guess I guess if you know her well
She's the kind of girl
She can believe me when I say, she can

She's already ready there, and already there.

Now what the devil want
Believe the devil gonna get
He gonna stretch her out
Like a tape in a cassette
And when you see these kinda girls
They all look big as Fud
But the devil know the devil know
There is only one thing tonight she gonna suck
Cuz she wont no she cant
Believe me when I say
She cant
She's already there
She's already there

We got sixteen year olds acting like they forty year olds
Yo we need to do it and we need to re-clense the souls
I have an idea, lets take rich style high tronic system and we crush em out

Cuz she wont she cant
Believe me when I say
She's already there
She's already there.

Oh, I brought this girl into my house and then she told me to wait.
Oh, I get so angry when they leave me to wait.
She said, "The morning's almost here which means it's getting real late."
I said, "Baby, don't you worry 'cause this song can just wait."

I said, "1, 2, 3."
I just don't stop.
You want to stop me in the middle.
I want to stop from the top.
I said, "1, 2, 3."
I just don't stop for you.

'Cause I, I, I know it's over.
Some things I just know 'cause I'm older.
I, I, I know you don't want me but I just can't stand goodbyes.

Oh, you wanna talk to me 'bout nothin'.
Well, I wanna hear the radio.
Alright, now when it's one o'clock it's time to listen down and low.

I said, "1, 2, 3."
I just don't stop.
You want to stop me in the middle.
I want to stop from the top.
I said, "4, 5, 6."
You're callin' it quits.
I said, "Baby, don't you stop me now -- I can't resist."

'Cause I, I, I know it's over.
Some things I just know 'cause I'm older.
I, I, I know you don't want me but I just can't stand goodbyes.

On the edge of the water where the ships pass by
and the sound of your laughter in the endless sky
tips my head back, full of swimming thoughts
beneath deep breathing that sinks so far down
that sings so far down

and I handle my business and I know the prize
is of no consequence. You have looked with your eyes
wide open to what's inside, that sinks so far down

I'm in two

I went looking, went searching under the water
sinking and pushing, till you pulled me under
to where you are, to where we build our house
and so we sink so far down
and we can't go back now, can't go back now

on the edge of the water where the ships pass by
and the sound of your laughter in the endless sky
tips my head back, full of swimming thoughts
beneath deep breathing

now I stay holding this honesty with you

I went looking, went searching under the water
sinking and pushing, till you pulled me under
to where you are, to where we build our house
and so we sink so far down
and we can't go back now

sink so far down when I know you're around
and I can't go back now, can't go back now

If I was young, I'd flee this town
I'd bury my dreams underground
As did I, we drink to die, we drink tonight
Far from home, elephant gun
Let's take them down one by one
We'll lay it down, it's not been found, it's not around
Let the seasons begin - it rolls right on
Let the seasons begin - take the big king down
Let the seasons begin - it rolls right on
Let the seasons begin - take the big king down
And it rips through the silence of our camp at night
And it rips through the night
And it rips through the silence of our camp at night
And it rips through the silence, all that is left is all that i hide

Hot sand on toes, cold sand in sleeping bags,
I've come to know that memories
Were the best things you ever had
The summer shorn beat down on browned backs
So far from home where the ocean stood
Down dust and pine cone tracks

We slept like dogs down by the fire side
Awoke to the fog all around us
The boom of summer time

[Chorus]
We stood
Steady as the stars in the woods
So happy-hearted
And the warmth rang true inside these bones
As the old pine fell we sang
Just to bless the morning.

Hot sand on toes, cold sand in sleeping bags,
I've come to know the friends around you
Are all you'll always have
Smoke in my lungs, or the echoed stone
Careless and young, free as the birds that fly
With weightless souls now.

[Chorus x2]
We stood
Steady as the stars in the woods
So happy-hearted
And the warmth rang true inside these bones
We stood
Steady as the stars in the woods
So happy-hearted
And the warmth rang true inside these bones
As the old pine fell we sang
Just to bless the morning.

We grow, grow, steady as the morning
We grow, grow, older still
We grow, grow, happy as a new dawn
We grow, grow, older still
We grow, grow, steady as the flowers
We grow, grow, older still
We grow, grow, happy as a new dawn
We grow, grow, older still

You have forsaken all the love you’ve taken
Sleeping on a razor, there’s nowhere left to fall
Your body’s aching, every bone is breaking
Nothing seems to shake it, it just keeps holding on
Ah ah ah ah...

Your soul is able, death is all you cradle
Sleeping on the nails, there’s nowhere left to fall
You have admired, every man desires
Everyone is king when there’s no one left to pawn
Ah ah ah ah...

There is no peace here, war is never cheap here
Love will never need it, it just gets sold for parts
You cannot fight it, all the world denies it
Open up your eyelids and let your demons run
Ah ah ah...

I thread the needle through, you beat the devil’s tattoo
I thread the needle through, you beat the devil’s tattoo

cold your blood is your soul but blood is the lie
sold the hand that you hold before you arrive
you're perfect, you're worth it your friends said
I guess that it's true
you mean it
I've seen it
the poets got nothing on you

I'll be sticking around till the season's turning
And I'm gonna hang around until the summer's dead
But you keep following me with the words you left me
Banging around in the rooms inside my head

Hi there Mr blackbird your friends are calling you
So you better fly up high in the cherry tree
But keep one little eye fixed on your girlfriend
Or she will come sit on my window and talk to me

Chorus

Stop everything and think about coming home for a while
It doesn't matter what happened to you, your my crocodile
It doesn't matter, doesn't matter at all, just come bar
Just get back into the rythum of things and come to the bar

1979 and 'Heart of Glass' is playing
And she's got a bird that laughs and talks and sings
And he's got good shoes and he's got sticky fingers
Dancing around until the carpet's wearing thin

Chorus

Just stop everything and think about coming home for a while
It doesn't matter, what happened to you, your my crocodile
It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter at all, just come bar
Just get back to the rythum of things and come to the bar

Get back into the rythum of things and come to the bar
Get back into the rythum of things and come to the bar
Get back into the rythum of things and come to the bar
Get back into the rythum of things and come to the bar

It doesn't matter, doesn't matter at all
It doesn't matter, doesn't matter at all
It doesn't matter, doesn't matter at all
It doesn't matter, doesn't matter at all

Get back to the rythum of things and come to the bar
Get back to the rythum of things and come to the bar
Get back to the rythum of things and come to the bar
Get back to the rythum of things and come to the bar

Get back to the rythum of things and come to the bar
Get back to the rythum of things and come to the bar

You'll never get that taste, out of your mouth
You'll never get the paw prints, out of the hen house now
And you can't go back, same way you came
Round all the pieces up, but they just dont fit the same

White knuckles
Maybe it's not so bad
So let your hair down now

White knuckles
Yeah maybe it's not so bad
Aww go ahead and let it down

So come and let it all out, let it bleed
Did you get what you want? Did you get what you need?
Behind the lines, behind the walls
Tell me what's the bet you made, was it that bad after all?

White knuckles
Yeah maybe it's not so bad
So let your hair down now

White knuckles
Aww maybe it's not so bad
Just let it all come down now

So just have fun, it's far enough
Everybody needs to sleep at night, everybody needs a crutch
But couldn't good, be good enough?
Cause nothin' ever doesn't change but nothin' changes much

East London's not a bomb site
It is a treasure chest
We use our penguin costumes
More than our evening dress
She said I should come over
Though the music's not my type
Don't you know I'd chop a limb off
Just to have a good time

Shut up and move with me, move with me, or, or get out of my face
I didn't queue for an hour to leave straight away
Shut up and stay with me, stay with me, or, or let go of my hand
The lasers fill our minds with empty plans
I never knew I was a techno fan

This is not a weird weekend
It's an angry wormhole
I'm talking like a city boy
And drinking with a northern soul
She said I should come over
Though it's carnage at times
It still seems I'd chop a limb off
Before I put up a fight

Shut up and move with me, move with me, or, or get out of my face
I didn't queue for an hour to leave straight away
Shut up and stay with me, stay with me, or, or let go of my hand
The lasers fill our minds with empty plans
I never knew I was a techno

We are the 1980s
We are the Detroit lights
And I never wanna, I never wanna see this stop
I'm in debt to you
But don't feed me plant food

Shut up and move with me, move with me, or, or get out of my face
I didn't spend 20 sheets and not cut a shape
Shut up and stay with me, stay with me, or, or let go of my hand
The lasers fill our minds with empty plans
I never knew I was a techno fan
I never knew I was a techno fan
I never knew I was a techno fan

Wish you would stop calling me baby
Wish I could stop coming back
So if I go blind
And if I go crazy
I am counting on you to bring me back
Look at me now x5
Used to tell ... of love
Look at me now
Look at me now

My eyes were shut
My hurt was bleeding
... fall off till I met you
We are lost
I have a feeling
This rose is dead
And I am blue

Look at me now x5
Stars ...down
look at me now
look at me now

Look at me now x5
.. I am walking alone
Look at me now x7
Stars...down
Look at me now
look at me now
